A short article from the Chicago weekly Breeder's Gazette (December 15, 1881) promoting Shropshire Down sheep as a combined wool and mutton breed. It accompanies an engraving of the ram Champion and three shearling ewes imported by James Cotton of Camargo, Illinois, which won the grand sweepstakes at the Chicago Fat-Stock Show. The text discusses the medium-grade fleece, its steady market demand, mutton quality, and the case for American farmers keeping flocks.
